Recruitment Fraud is a sophisticated fraud involving the offer of fictitious job opportunities. This kind of fraud is normally done through unsolicited emails, online recruitment services such as LinkedIn, bogus websites, social media and even text messages claiming to be from First Group of Companies (HR First, Contract First, and IT First) . The aim of the fraud is to obtain personal information or money.
